Tigers,
My rebuilt Tiger MK II gearbox, the rebuilder's advice, was used with
the Sunbeam recommended gear oil for 1,000 miles. After this "break-in"
we drained and refilled with Mobil 1 GEAR OIL (not motor oil!).
After the oil change I was immediately struck with the slick, and easy
shifting. No loss of oil, so LONG TIME between drain and refill.
Highly recommended. BTW: It will not "fix" a bad box.
